My office stereo has physical connections between the following devices (simplifying a bit)

- Speakers connect via speaker wire to monoprice 7x200 amp

- Monoprice amp connects via RCA to denon x3800h

- X3800h receives HDMI from desktop computer and sends HDMI to a monitor.

- Same computer connects via Displayport to the same monitor

I used to hear an infuriating buzz when my 2080TI started to work hard. It changed depending on the screen output, GPU strain, and mouse activity but was constant. It acted like a combination ground loop cum coil whine.

The first fix I discovered was to ground my monoprice amp to the 2080 TI PCB by wrapping one end of the exposed-copper (12 awg, I think) grounding wire through and around one of the holes in the board and attaching the other end to the Monoprice amp's grounding pin.

This fixed the issue completely.

Then I realized I could fix the issue more elegantly and elminate the need for grounding: I removed the grounding wire and replaced my normal HDMI and Displayport cables with fiber optic HDMI and Displayport cables. The buzz has never recurred.

I've never delved further into the problem, but my conclusion is the same as yours: there's a design fault somewhere on the board, which is causing electricity to flow in ways it shouldn't. I'm using an MSI z690 ddr4 edge wifi board. Same brand, same generation, as the board where this guy is having his SSD power issue.

I still hear a weird, loud buzz through the stereo (including a separate amp and separate pair of speakers) when my partner runs her hair dryer upstairs, even though my stereo runs on its own separate circuit, so regardless of the design issues in the board, there's definitely also an issue in my electrical system.
This may be a "good" privacy story but a way better one is to just not send any of your data anywhere, especially without prior consent.
Is there an actual breakdown somewhere on how much, exactly, an artist makes on each platform, similar to this calculator?
No, Russia is emptying its prisons and bringing in troops from North Korea instead. You make your own conclusion.
it is surprising there isn’t some
SaaS bullshit company that solves this problem. we have shit like Pearsons and whatnots when taking exams, I took few certification exams and it was like

- install this thing that takes over my machine

- 360 camera around to show my surroundings

- no phone/watch/…

One would think by now there’d be two Stanford grads with a SaaS shit taking care of this for $899/hr

Last interview I did it was obvious candidate was cheating. Gave him my cell and told him to call me, no speakerphone or bluetooth and hung up Teams meeting - never got a call :)
> In 2014, the US overthrew a democratically elected Ukrainian government by financing neo-Nazi militias and their political allies

This is how the American far-right and far-left sees it. But how do the Ukrainians themselves see this?
It’s very true this drives watch time, but I doubt it drives subscriptions.

My guess is some internal metrics favor watch time over quality and is just quietly killing their business.
I wasn't aware it takes years of training and possibly expensive schooling to make a social media post. My bad
Off topic: the Biden administration also made a commitment to passenger rail, including high-speed rail, something the rest of the world has had for years. Unfortunately, the incoming administration will most likely kill all this.

Yes, he should have put on a bunad.
Can confirm. I am brazilian. Did a few onsites this end of year. Guess the only one I passed with flying colors? Uber, Brazil office. TC for mid level around 80k dollars. Now that the real devalued even more, maybe 75-70?

Most of my brazilian friends living abroad also cleared said onsites, absolute majority rejected their offers(because they live elsewhere with a currency that has any sort of value).

As a matter of fact, Uber is struggling to fill their vacancies around Brazil. Everyone that can clear said interview are already in Europe/US. So you're only left off with the people that actually want to be closer to their families.
The rubber dome ones didn't have buckling springs. They were "traditional" mass-market keyboard tech in the Model M form factor.
You've got the spying equipment to explain if boarded. An extra generator is hardly a concern. If anything an auxiliary generator can be explained as a backup/replacement for the ship's mandated backup generator.
If you're good, and you can demonstrate that you're good, you should have no problem finding a job. There are still many more job openings than there are skilled candidates.

And I don't think there's any discrimination against white males, that's certainly a popular talking point from the far-right, but it's simply not true.
Have you considered that the bitterness that drips out of your posts here might be part of the reason you're having trouble finding work?

Half the interview (ideally) measures technical competence. The other half is "would I like to work with this person?" I don't know what you're like in person, but if I looked you up and found your HN comment history, you'd be a no hire. Sorry.
You’re right. It’s more of a symptom of the systemic problems than the main problem itself. But it still contributes to my distrust in science.
It's a radio callsign (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_signs_in_the_United_State...)

People aren't making tradeoffs - that's the problem. Apple is making the tradeoffs for them, and then retroactively asking their users "is this okay?"

Users shouldn't need to buy a new phone to circumevent arbitrary restrictions on the hardware that is their legal property. If America had functional consumer protections, Apple would have been reprimanded harder than their smackdowns in the EU.
Yes. Syria is foreign soil to Turkey.
I’ve been eyeing a Hall effect board, but having used Swiftpoint Z mouse which has that pressure-based activation on several buttons, I must admit it’s the kind of feature that’s good on paper.

At least for me, it’s pretty hard to consistent reproduce “half press” and “full press” and if I wanted to do a “long press” I can easily set it up in QMK for any mechanical keyboard
I live in New Zealand, applied for 5 jobs in March 2024, got 2 offers (Atlassian, small startup - both Aus based remote jobs), the other 3 companies didn't move me past resume.

I have a CS degree and over a decade of experience as a full stack dev.

Maybe I just got lucky, but there have always been people out there that seem to apply for hundreds of companies and land nothing. I've also helped some of those people land a job.

IMO it mostly comes down to understanding and preparing for the interview process, and tailoring yourself for the position you're applying for. Sometimes people also need help with blind spots - little things like correctly referring to technologies in their CV, small talk and being personable etc.

The reasoning is quite subtle, and because I'm not a very coherent guy I have problems expressing it. In the LLM space there are a whole bunch of pitfalls around overfit (largely solvable with pretty standard statistical methods) and inherent bias in training material which is a much harder to problem to solve. The fact that the internal representation gives you zero information on how to handle this bias means the tool can itself not be used to detect or resolve the problem.

I found this episode of the nature podcast - "How AI works is often a mystery — that's a problem": https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-04154-4 - very useful in a 'thank goodness someone else has done the work of being coherent so I don't have to' way.
Germany always was an importer of energy, and a couple of years ago it decided to replace energy imports from Russia with imports from other countries. Many had warned that this would hurt the country's economy. Even those who were, and still are, in charge acknowledged the fact. But they prefer it this way.

As I've aged, I've developed kinetic tremor. In typing, this shows up as missing my intended target key. The error most commonly presents as hitting two keys at once because my ability to hit only within a defined x,y envelope at the keyboard plane has declined. Analyzing my typos, my intended key gets most of my finger, with adjacent keys getting tripped by ~10% - 20%, i.e., by the edge of my finger.

I would love to find a keyboard that has keys at the usual pitch (I'm usually on Apple products), but that are smaller targets. I think this would result in fewer "out-of-bounds" adjacent key strikes. I've searched for such, no results so far. Any recommendations gladly received, thanks.
>OK maybe their school is a signal

"School" is quite variable.

Weak signal: you only went to class and did OK in them.

Strong signal: you had an internship, or undergrad research experience, or part-time employment as a TA/tutor, or have a completed project to show off, or some kind of non-trivial community/group/club/fraternity leadership.

Really strong signal: you published a paper with someone I know and they recommend you to me.
There's a map to prove you wrong. I counted 26 from the UK to Turkey and from that bit of Spain to Ukraine (a different gauge doesn't mean you can have nighttrains). The solid lines have sleeper wagons. Which are useless anyways if you are taller than 190cm. https://back-on-track.eu/night-train-map/

Actually Spain seems to have more to offer according to this map http://www.night-trains.com/europe/

Paper has no downtime.

In times of disaster, the people welding paper along with the people who can trade on their street cred, familiar friends, family, will get stuff, do necessary business.

Everyone else will be essentially panhandling.

Mind you, not a damn thing wrong with panhandling. That is not a crime.

My point is to avoid having to do that where possible and practical.
I’m not the person you asked, but I agree with them. To answer your question: No, I do not use iCloud to store my photos. Even if I did, consent to store data is not the same as consent to scan or run checks on it. For a company whose messaging is all about user consent and privacy, that matters.

This would be easily solvable: On first run show a window with:

> Hey, we have this new cool feature that does X and is totally private because of Y [link to Learn More]

I've been using emacs for 30 years and have tried VS code several times but the muscle memory on Emacs has prevented me for switching. I've gotten LSP on emacs working well enough but the performance just isn't there. So today thanks to your suggestion I tried it once more with the Awesome Emacs Keymap extension and right away I ran into not having dired mode to switch files.

A quick google search got me vscode-dired (incase anyone else runs into it):

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rrudi.vs...

Quick Tip: I set C-x C-d, C-x C-b and C-xb all to call extension.dired.open per this stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62235792/how-to-add-mult...

that seems to satisfy the muscle memory... and it seems at first glance that this time the switch to vscode might actually stick. (thanks for the link to the emacs keymap extension)

We'll see how it goes!

edit: After even 5 minutes of building some rust code I ran into too many issues! I love the syntax highlighting in VS Code and everything else but I have way too much custom elisp to build and debug Rust/Go/C++ and recreating all that in VSCode or learning the new bindings is a bridge too far! I would pay real money to someone who would build an amazing performant experience for emacs. Sigh.
For hiring managers, if you getting a flood of resumes here is a possible solution for a filter: unpopular things and manual instructions.

1. Manual instructions. On the application submission page mention something like: All resumes or cover letters must copy and apply the following statement or will be dropped from consideration. This tests that candidates actually read and follow the instructions and rejections can be automated with a simple string search.

2. For that 1% of candidates that do follow instructions that during the technical filter phase of interviewing they will be required to do something unpopular as a demonstration of prior coding experience. In my case as a JavaScript developer it was walking the DOM from one node location to another. I was able to filter 22 candidates down to two and that doesn’t include the larger number that dropped out.
That kind of makes sense, but doesn't. I'm aware of the fact of the bi-modal / tri-modal distribution of the software dev. salaries. However, in the case of my friend, software is not the only option for him. My friend refuses to get lower paying software eng. position ... because he can make the same lower money by doing the thing he likes, in his case - working as a luthier. Another friend also were refusing to get lower paying software jobs and instead were working 1+ year as secretary for a wealthy person. My point is that some lower paying jobs won't be filed ever, even if there are plenty software developers without jobs. It's more wise for some people to leave field temporarily or permanently.
It's also a nonsense argument given Putin's aggression prompted NATO's largest expansion in a decade and arguably most-significant expansion since the 1990s.
Beware that it may be just another data kraken.
Taking your conclusion in good faith, would you really want to work in a shop that weighs immutable characteristics over actionable metrics like solving LC hards?
Yes, indeed, see for example https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.03094
I don't want my photos to take part in any network; never asked for it, never expected it to happen. I never used iCloud or other commercial cloud providers. This is just forceful data extraction by Apple, absolutely egregious behavior.
It's both. Free software is a more efficient mode of production because it maximizes the exchange of ideas about how best to build software. It's also a more libertarian mode of consumption because it maximizes freedom of choice for users.
I wonder if they’re thinking 200mg per kilo to trigger cell death. I have trouble believing a human heart surviving a dose of 50mg/kg. Half of them surviving four times that much? No. I don’t believe it.

Found an article about a teenager who died after three strong beverages. The coroner is careful to point out that this was likely an underlying medical condition not the caffeine. The health professional they interviewed claims 10g is lethal for “most” people, which would be 100-150mg/kg. That still seems like something an ER doctor would roll their eyes at.
Interesting. JVM langs are the only ones I don't write in Neovim, due to abysmal support (namely, Metals). I'll go through your instructions.
"Locally-runnable"? Or probably just "hosted or desktop".
I use a Cepstrum (bought a kit + switches + keycaps and put it together; there's no soldering required, so it's quite easy). I never 3D printed tenting, so it's not quite perfect for normal typing, but for gaming it's fantastic - I don't think I can go back to non low-profile switches.
This must be the first consumer or commercial product implementing homomorphic encryption is it not?

I would be surprised if doing noisy vector comparisons is actually the most effective way to tell if someone is in front of the Eiffel tower. A small large language model could caption it just as well on device, my spider sense tells me someone saw an opportunity to apply bleeding edge, very cool tech so that they can gain experience and do it bigger and better in the future, but they're fumbling their reputation by doing this kind of user data scanning.
> I just don't think Google cares enough about the web as a whole to make strategic decisions for content quality in aggregate.

The only thing they care about is ad revenue. Google created Chrome which vastly improved browser user experience. Google is a major participant in web standard & JavaScript language evolution, among other work. That's all true, but not necessarily because they "care about the web", but rather it helps their ad business. If people put the entire world's information on websites, and people spend more time in browsers, Google ends up earning more money from ads.
Which bank did that ?!?
The applications for Mixin wasn't to mock a method or two, it's to enable full-scale modification of an existing Java application at runtime without recompiling/redistributing the original application. In the case of its origins, modifying Minecraft server to add a non-obfuscated API and implement said API on top of it through Mixins. The way this is achieved is practically at the class load point in time so the runtime costs are reduced to maybe a couple of seconds (as of current writing, Sponge has somewhere around 1.2k mixins overall). Could there be a better native API? I'm hoping so, Java's Class File API (JEP-484) is a pretty good start, but I don't think it's quite enough yet to enable the full functionality of what Mixin does.

I'm pretty sure the temperature of even GPT4o-mini is not 0 so how would you know it is the something like you have. It would be hard to be reading an answer, it would feel awkward and probably obvious it itself. But I'm just saying that some people would have memorized answers to some standard questions (they apply to many places as you might know).
I think it had helicopter pad, a harbor for relatively large ships etc. I think Russia had planned to use it as a place to land troops or "green men" during war as spying could happen without helicopter pad etc.

Tiers based on seats doesn't seem all that different. Flipper Cloud seems to be roughly $60/seat/yr but only buyable in fixed chunks, meaning some pay as much as $499/yr for 1 seat, others pay $50/seat for 10 seats, others pay $136/seat for 11 seats, etc.

So now, as a business with 10 users, I still have to decide if my 11th new employee is worth $1000/yr for their seat, if I should kick someone else off and give it to the new employee, etc...

At this point we all would have much worse things to worry about. Poland is a part of NATO.
1) I was making an analogy.

2) I took at look at the most recent CMS data[0] I could find (from 2022,) and out of the top ten owners of hospitals in the United States, zero are payers. I only recognize about half of the parties in the 11-20 part of the list, but of the ones I do recognize, one is related to a payer. I can find no data to support your assertion that insurance companies are purchasing hospitals. They are purchasing physician practice groups, but that only reinforces the dynamic I described where hospitals have to court physicians to drive patients to their facilities.

>We're being told we do not have to verify. The AI knows all.

Where are you being told all of these things? I haven't heard anything like it.
Perhaps designing some smaller keycaps could help?
How can that be true though?

Are you and Elon saying that India’s education system and universities are just plain better than MIT, Stanford, etc? If so - why are so many studying abroad in places like Canada and Australia?

If not, then are Indians just genetically smarter than Americans, so that their pool is better?

It just seems like immigrants are willing to work more for less, so that in the future when they’re citizens, they can work less for more.
I referred two friends at my former employer and the process has changed in the span of 5 years; first one needed at least a short recommendation, second was pretty much fire and forget (and hope for the bonus if they get hired)
That is true. Companies are using LLM in ATS to filter resume.

If they can bullshit job description to reach more applications why candidates cannot do the same with CV?

The result we are going to is almost every CV now will be a 99% matching to the job description thanks to LLM tools.

And cover letter is even more useless now.
All of them, because I'm not on any social media. I also mostly put obscure things on my website that aren't easily found elsewhere online, so very specific searches tend to end up on my site.

Also probably why I get email from people visiting as it's one of the few places people can reference said info.
> UNCLOS is ultimately just words, just like the Geneva convention, a formal declaration of war, a country's nuclear doctrine

UNCLOS is being ignored by China. The Geneva Conventions have been ignored by every current, former and emerging superpower, as well as several regional powers--again, without consequence. Nobody declares war. And Putin has been amending his nuclear doctrine by the hour, often with false starts.

Would I prefer these were law? Absolutely. Must I blind myself to the fact that they aren't? No.
I've had some interviews stretch on for months and multiple interviews only to be rejected in the end. I'm just trying to concentrate on creating video games. I'll probably go get a job at a store in town soon. Pointless to keep trying in this market it seems.

I’m a big neovim fan, and I I ever need to do Java, first I’ll enable the Java lang extra in lazyvim . If that doesn’t work I’d look at this and make changes. Then I’d probably go to IntelliJ Idea.
I'm close with a principal engineering manager at a large tech company. At his level, bonuses are in part determined by hiring minorities (discriminating against whites, East Asians, men), and resumés are sorted by the same category to ensure some minimum of minorities are given an opportunity before a less racially desirable candidate even has a chance of being looked at.

IBM Red Hat is being sued for this, having stated workforce diversity goals of 30% female and 30% people of color. Executives have openly stated that bonuses are on the line if you hire too many white men.

For the last decade or so we haven't been able to state these things without being accused of racism or sexism. Ironically, my primary concern is that these sorts of policies make the problems of racism and sexism worse. Equality requires that we judge people on their merits.
